Elegant in Batik

Hi, as I promised two posts in a week, so here we go..

This is the outfit that I wore when I was going to do a shopping spree at Debenhams, Senayan City last week. This outfit was also the one that I wore on Chinese New Year back then at February. At the time, I also promised to do separate photo session about that outfit for the complete look. So here they are.

This was one of a kind modern Batik that I had. The fabric was Batik but the dress' design was so modern. It had deep V-Neck design and split skirt like a Kimono. So simple yet so chic, elegant  and remarkable. This dress has made the new impression that Batik could be also look so Luxurious, far from the old image that Batik should be always looked formal and old fashioned.

IOPE AIR CUSHION XP (NATURAL)

A long waiting review is finally here..!! So sorry for postponed the review during my sickness, and now when I'm getting better, I will update two posts in a week as an amend! ^^

As you have known that I was a Beta Tester for an E-Commerce named Althea Korea (I already updated about this sponsorship also in my previous post), which now the web store already run smoothly and ready to serve all customers in Indonesia. During the sponsorship, I was given IDR 600k credit points to shop at their store. So on this opportunity, I instantly chose to order a cushion which I already wanted to try for so long.

After a few research, I found out that this IOPE Air Cushion XP was the second best recommendation cushion with more affordable price. And it has two type of cushions, which were Natural and Cover, then I chose to order the Natural one with shade N21. Until today, I've been using this product over a week and after experience all the results, I could say that I'm quite satisfied with it.

The result was really Natural as its claim! It meant, it has a very low coverage ~so if you wanted high coverage for your skin, you better choose the Cover type~, and it's not cakey. It's really dewy, but because I didn't a fan of dewy look as much as the other people did, so I added a small amount of powder again atop of it ~I used it as a foundation~.

It's not sweat-proof! So when I was sweating, it would cause my skin color looks uneven. But it did last up to eight hours if I was not sweating, so I didn't need to touch up during the time. The product itself claimed the effect would long-lasting up to 12 hours, but I always touched up before eight hours or so. This cushion could be applied as Sunscreen also with SPF50+, so as for me, this product was quite necessary because I lived in tropical island.

The one interesting thing for me was, the puff would give a cool feeling when it touched my skin and I found it refreshing. So I loved to touch up with this cushion ~even though I didn't really need to~, just to refresh my skin from the heat. What a relieve I got this product right now! ;)

When you order this cushion, you will get one complete set of cushion plus one refill. So no need to worry if you run out of content because it already has a back up stock. I don't really know how long the cushion could be use, but I usually emptied my compact powder around three or four months, so I hope this cushion would last longer.

this is what you get

• Hydrate and moisturize your skin
  
• Dewy look skin like Korean girls
• Long-lasting

Cons:

• Not sweat-proof
• Not available in Indonesia yet

Summer Butterfly

It's nearly middle of May and I could feel Summer already! It's so close till I decided to give you Summer outfit inspiration on this post. And fyi, my Summer outfit was representing my country's culture so you wouldn't see me in bikinis anytime soon. ~lol~

So last week I was going to Ancol Beach in North Jakarta. Although it was rainy from morning till noon there, but in the evening the sun shone brightly. I took this picture just a little bit after the rain, so the place was wet all over. I need to find a spot that a little bit dry to stand and took some pictures there.

Summer meant you could wear thin clothes because the of heat, so this tribal top with open back was my current favorite beach outfit. Very comfortable that you could feel barely wore nothing, ~but don't you forget to cover your skin with sunblock~.

This comfy outfit was suitable for a stroll in the sand while enjoying the Summer breeze caress your skin and blow your hair all the way, or simply watched the sea from the deck like me in these pictures. Also more accessories would be better for your Summer if you have plenty of them, so be ready to hunt and stock up!

90s Flashback

Okay, after pending a little bit too long due to my long weekend holiday this week, so now it's time to share story about the newest and funnest place in town ;)

Its name was 90s Flashback, a new hangout place in Tangerang with the new concept you might like. As its name, this place would make you feel nostalgic with everything we've ever played or ate around '90. You could find the popular Coklat Ayam Jago (Rooster Chocolate) in here and Coklat Payung (Umbrella Chocolate). And as for the games, you could find Tetris, Bekel, Congklak, Monopoly, UNO and many more popular games in our teens ('90 teens I meant).

The playful decoration and seating design would absolutely make you feel comfortable when enjoying your time in here with family or friends. It was also a great place to meet up with old pals (reuni), because it had large capacity for many customers.

As for foods and beverages, it didn't have too many variety menus. Most of the menus were the improvement and variation of Indomie and Roasted Breads, then the others were just simple menus like Fried Rice, Fried Noodle, etc.

This place was a good choice if you wanted to spend a 'normal' fun times with your loved ones. It's a place where you could put down your phone a while and have some fun interaction with other people in real life. Forget your 'digital' life for a while, because we ~the 90s generation~ were had the most happiest era before all gadgets and media platforms came along then invaded our life, and you could revive a bit of those happy memories in this place..
